G string for the beach

Well, not really for the beach, in fact it is for my guitar

I as wondering what G string is harder in tension than the composite from D'addario hard tension set (besides extra-hard).

The string from the extra-hard set would probably do the trick for me, its above 6kg but I dont feel like buying a whole set of those just for that string.. unless someone is kind enough to send me one

Any ideas? Galli titanium? So far Ive found the savarez ht cristal to be above 6kg but never tried those..

Try HT Savarez alliance 3rd; great sound on my guitars, and you can buy the single string from stringsbymail.com.

RE: G string for the beach (in reply to etta)

Thats funny.. I ordered a Savarez red card HT set because I think that the G string from that set will cure my problem (the trebles are rectified).

Right now I have a B string from that set as a G and it works great althought it has less tension. Seems like rectified nylon can cure the annoying type of buzz
